Azimio de-whips Fatuma Dullo, replaces her with Ledama in new Senate changes

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party has made a raft of new changes in the Senate, starting by de-whipping Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo.

Dullo was removed as the Senate Minority Whip and replaced by outspoken Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina, who has been serving as the Deputy Minority Whip.

The changes, which were announced by Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday, also saw Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna handed the Deputy Minority Whip position which became vacant after Ole Kina’s elevation.

Odinga was addressing the media after a meeting with Azimio-allied Senators, during which he also announced that Kwale Senator Stewart Madzayo and his Kitui couterpart Enoch Wambua however remain the Senate minority leader and deputy minority leader respectively.

Dullo was axed from the position over what the coalition termed as her disloyalty to the political outfit after she recently visited State House.

The Senator was among 30 Jubilee legislators who reportedly pledged to work with the President William Ruto government during the said meeting.
